For users who wish to use the Eltek GenII series of transmitters with third party or
proprietary software. The RC250 can also be used to interface GenII transmitters to an
existing data acquisition system such as the Datataker DT80 using Modbus.
The RC250 and antenna should be located in a position clear of interference, in particular
that generated by computers and monitors, and away from surfaces that can compromise
RF performance e.g. steel or damp or reinforced walls. Use of the optional dipole antenna
will maximise coverage.
A red LED on the top of the RC250 Indicates the receiver has successfully received a valid
data packet.
